We should address the dot points by area - so an overarching point then subpoints on the actual dot point



11.1 identify data sources to:

a) analyse complex problems to determine appropriate ways in which each aspect may be researched

b) determine the type of data which needs to be collected and explain the qualitative or quantitative analysis that will be required for this data to be useful

c) identify the orders of magnitude that will be appropriate and the uncertainty that may be present in the measurement of data

d) identify and use correct units for data that will be collected

e) recommend the use of an appropriate technology or strategy for data collection or gathering information that will assist efficient future analysis

11.2 plan first-hand investigations to:

a) demonstrate the use of the terms ‘dependent’ and ‘independent’ to describe variables involved in the investigation

b) identify variables that need to be kept constant, develop strategies to ensure that these variables are kept constant, and demonstrate the use of a control

c) design investigations that allow valid and reliable data and information to be collected

d) design and trial procedures to undertake investigations and explain why a procedure, a sequence of procedures or repetition of procedures is appropriate

e) predict possible issues that may arise during the course of an investigation and identify strategies to address these issues if necessary


11.3 choose equipment or resources by:

a) identifying and/or setting up the most appropriate equipment or combination of equipment needed to undertake the investigation

b) carrying out a risk assessment of intended experimental procedures and identifying and addressing potential hazards

c) identifying technology that could be used during investigations and determining its suitability and effectiveness for its potential role in the procedure or investigations

d) recognising the difference between destructive and non-destructive testing of
